        进入21世纪后，随着经济和社会的持续发展，中国的科技事业也迎来了发展的黄金期，中国已成为世界上屈指可数的科技大国。然而，引领性创新人才和成果的不足，成为当前中国科技发展有待解决的瓶颈问题。文章提出，哲学对于解决这一问题或可襄助一臂之力，通过参与营建有助于哲人科学家成长的土壤和氛围，哲学可以间接促进引领性科技创新人才的培育和创新成果的产出。这一任务对于哲学自身也提出了特定的要求，并将为哲学发展带来相应的影响。

        Based on the rapid developments in economy and society in past decades, China has already become one of the largest countries in scientific research and technology development. However, China is still far from being a leading country in science and technology. Can philosophy help to promote China's scientific innovations? It is argued in this paper that philosophy, in its proper role, can help by facilitating the growth of philosopher-scientists in China, who may play key roles in some original innovations that are in need in China.
